That's a really interesting chip. A bit more than most people need I think - I wonder how difficult it is to use for it's display capabilities. Not a bad price at all for what you get though...Originally Posted by Joe S.

I had a play with those last year...even had some 'breakout' boards built for the TSSOP package. The image never quite turned out right. Probably due to my sloppy 'breakout' board, or maybe the connections, etc.etc.
The characters don't follow the standard ASCII character set, easy enough to fix with a lookup table. And the characters are reprogrammable, but I didn't play with that.
If there's enough interest, maybe I'll get another bunch built up.

Graham,
I don't own a digital TV yet, but you're probably right, they should play rgb just fine, I was thinking NTSC composite overlay would be a problem. My wife and I decided that since we have low resolution eyes, (over fifty, bifocals, etc.) we don't yet need a high resolution TV, and the prices will likely fall.
Thanks for the info regarding the PV cells. Our local electric utility is going to become unregulated next year and electric prices are expected to jump significantly.
Jerry.
